Parshat TzavLeviticus 6:1 - 8:36
Rabbi Denise L. Eger
This Shabbat is Shabbat Hagadol, the Sabbath before Passover. Itis a reminder that we are a few days away from Passover. During
this week before the Seder we ought to be preparing by cleaning
our homes, our cars our desks and especially our kitchens of thechametz that has accumulated since last Passover. Everything that
can be considered chametz should be out of our possession. This
includes breads and pastas, cakes, grains: wheat, barley, rye, spelt
or oats - unless those foods are labeled "kosher for Passover. Leavening products are forbidden. Chametz includes noodles,
panko, breadcrumbs, most cereals, and if you are of Ashkenazi
background (Eastern European) then even the rice has to go! Many
donate these foods to food pantries and I want to encourage you tobring it to Kol Ami where we will take your unopened foods for
SOVA, the Jewish Food Pantry that is two doors from our
Temple! But this cleaning out of chametz doesn't just apply to food.
To properly prepare for Passover we are supposed to clean out not
only our cupboards and pantries but also clean out the chametz that
has accumulated inside of us. The resolutions we made last HighHoly Days to live a different kind of life, the resolutions we made
only in January to change our habits but by now we are back to our
old ways, Passover is a new chance to start things with a clean slate
and a clean soul. Passover teaches us that deliverance came for
